Barut Hemera Resort & Spa

Since returning Back to the hotel for the 4th time this year as perusual we had a amazing holiday. Since they have refurbished some of the hotels fa****es and have added huge comfy type beds down by the beach area the hotel has become better then ever. The food changes every night and there is so much choice for everyone. Your definatly guarenteed a fab meal everynight. The staff are really friendly and love to have a chat with you so it makes you feel comfortable. The holiday apartments are spotless as is the rest of the hotel including the pool which is cleaned throughly every night. A Great family holiday yet again. we have already booked up for next year and none of the family can wait. Thanks again hemera for a Fantastic 2008

I wish people would stop going on about how good it is as it's very difficult to rebook!! The reviews are true. You MUST go here!!! Best all inclusive I have ever stayed at. Free everything including safe and mini bar which you normally have to pay for in other places. I can't wait to go back but definitely 2 weeks next time!!!

wow a great holiday the hotel is outstanding. all four of us had a good time, bedrooms cleaned every day and the mini bar was filled every day as well this is a 5 star hotel and the staff very friendly. we had fun around the pool and on the beach. food was very good and the fat club as we called it was outstanding thats the place where you get cakes and ice cream from 10am to 5pm.

the enterainment around the pool just keep coming but if you wont you can just lay around. this is the place to be on holiday. i have been trying to book again this year but it's that good i can not get the date i need as hotel is full.

one bad thing. the shops in the hotel items cost a lot more than outside i would say a rip off so don't buy any thing from the shops untill you have had a look outside you also have to pay to play on the pool table but who needs to play pool as theres so much to do around the pool and on the beach. i would reccomend this hotel to every one.

what can i add to give a better review than all the previous,nothing.this is by far the best holiday we have ever had.no negatives,just positives,superb

Hemera Hotel Side 10-24 May 08

Our ages 50 and 53. Just returned from the above, all inclusive on the Beach Holiday With Portland Direct. Thompson and Thomas Cook also operate at this venue.

If Carlsberg did package tours, it would properly own the Hemera Hotel! It is not difficult to find people that are on their 10th return visit, which says a lot! Rooms are large modern and spotless. Staff the best ever. Food was outstanding with 3 theme restaurants.

Minus points.

Many of the rooms have a restricted view. Our room, 1406 was located over the lobby bar. The view from our balcony was about 10 meters of flat roof at the same level as our floor. So we never had a view. When we spoke to reception they offered to change the room with no problem. However if the hotel had been full then I think it would have been tuff luck.

On 23rd May 2008, the Oxyd Nightclub (Goggle It), which is located 150 meters from the Hemera and the Hotel Sunrise Queen, opened its doors for the season. The night was shattered by Rave music on till 04.00 am, from 04.00 – 05.00 am, it was the sound of Taxi’s. The club operates Wed – Sat. If the room air conditioning had been on, we would have had our balcony door closed, but it was too hot.

It appears that the quietist rooms are facing the Sunrise Queen Hotel over looking the service road and not facing the swimming pool.

Overall, had a great time, met great people, it was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. THANKS HEMERA.

Just returned from the best hotel ever! take my word this is a 5* hotel in every way the staff r very friendly and curteous i traveled with my partner and 2 children aged 11 and 8 the appartment we stayed in was a massive 2 bed wi air con in each room wi a pool and sea view we went there thinking it couldnt pos b as good as reviews were saying BUT IT WAS! hotel n complex were being cleaned from morning till night.

FOOD-

was always varied 2 suit everyones taste even my fussy 8 year old enjoyed the food. ice creams and cakes available near enough all day and down on the beach bar snaks were seved from bout 12 till 3 serving salad,pizzas,burgers,pasta dishes,pancakes, jacket pots etc all freshly cooked.(i definatly put on few pounds

LOCATION-

Side is a historic town with a large market,(but dont b fooled by the beggers wi babys on their knee like we were apparently their not as hard up as they look) copied cloths are very cheap. It is about a 30 minute walk from the hotel either by road or the beach (buses run every 5 mins) We took Lira but Euros are more common. One tip you must barter for everything and you will get it a lot cheaper.Bars located directly outside the hotel are very friendly, ADAMS bar and the QUEENS in paticular, both had very friendly and very well English speaking staff.

The beach was very clean and never had trouble getting a lounger. It also offered various water sports.

The pool in the hotel although cold (you soon get used to it) is excellent and very clean,again never any trouble getting lounger, there are 2 slides that are quick and enjoyable for adults as well as kid's.

The entertainment team keep everyone busy during the day (if you want it) with beach volleyball, water polo, darts competition, french bowls, water aerobics etc.

I cant reccomend this hotel highly enough it is fantastic.nearly forgot i do recomend having turkish bath, peel and massage in hotel, very nice! but you must do this on your first or second day to get a deep even tan.

I have just returned from the Hemera Hotel on 28th April. Every thing that needs to be said about this Hotel has already been said in previous reviews. I have added this review to confirm to potential patrons that this Hotel is continuing to perform to a very very high standard. Many guests were on return trips – some as many as their 5th visit. I

Accommodation excellent, staff very friendly - nothing too much trouble. Fantastic - clean sheets every day!!!

Even though the weather was not brilliant - we had a brilliant holiday thanks to the fantastic accommodation, food - entertainment (well most nights) and the fantastic, friendly staff - Thank You

The best holiday we have had in a long time. Everyone was friendly , the food was fantastic and it was so clean. Took four children with us and they enjoyed everything, especially the "mini disco" and the enterainment afterwards. Having its own beach was great, the children were safe and you didnt have to fight for sunbeds. Cant wait to go again, and already got the brochures for booking again.

Wow there isn’t anything bad I can say about this hotel, if you want fun and good time then this is the place to go.

The hotel is lush since the refit, they haven't gone overboard with the refit, it’s just right.

The rooms are really clean and there is a lot of space for everything.

There are no words to describe the animation team they work so hard day and night I really don’t know how they do it and its lovely to see Steve out there working this year he was brilliant also not forget Scooby, tugi, ali, chef, serkan and not forgetting robin.

The bar staff where really friendly to nothing was too much trouble even at 3 in the morning wanting a drink in the lobby bar!

One of the main highlights for my holiday was the beach and foam party that was so much fun foam went everywhere also the Olympics go England we won it twice thanks to our captain robin.

Also we had so much fun partying over at the fizz I miss you all we had some great nights there partying to the early hours of the morning they were really friendly they even were upset when we left if you’re going over there tell Murat the bar man I want a gin fizz and also say to him shakira shakira no tequila tequila he will know what I mean.

We are going back next year for my birthday if you want a great time then this is the hotel for you especially the 24 hour bar that they now have!
